Testimonials

I just wanted to let you know that we received the Hanafuda cards and have been using them extensively over the holidays. We bought them to replace a worn out set that my mother brought from Japan more than 30 years ago. These cards are beautiful and very good quality, and have been big hit in our family.

I would like to thank David for bearing with my PayPal problems and being overall very helpful and showing consideration and patience. I received my Genkai mahjong set two weeks after placing an order, a week after it was sent from Japan. The set was exactly as shown on the photos, top quality as promised, carefully packed, and everything was in place (even some spare scoring sticks). It was delivered by an EMS courier right to the door. David even took extra time to notify me about some minor changes in the set composition and have sent me additional photos, asking me to confirm my order.

I would recommend this shop to anybody who'd like to buy a japanese mahjong set or accessories, for it is fast,** reliable and you get exactly what you see on the website. David is a great seller, caring for his client's problems and trying to find solutions together. I am very impressed overall and can surely say this was my best international shopping experience, despite my problems with paying from Russia via PayPal.

David,

Hi David,

I would just like to let you know that the set I ordered here arrived in perfect condition. I'd have to say the set looks splendid. If I had the money I'd even buy the yakuman set if the take set is already this good. I am quite pleased that I ordered from your site.

Thank you for the great service!

Thanks,

Ryan

A Closer Look At Japanese Mahjong Tile Sizes

February 7, 2011 | Author admin

S 25.5 × 18.5mm, M 26 × 19.1mm, L 26.7 × 20mm, 2L 27.3 × 20.6mm, 3L 30.5 × 22.6mm

Typically, Japanese mahjong tiles are smaller than their Chinese counterparts. The photo above shows some life-sized standard Japanese mahjong tile face sizes.

Standard Japanese Mahjong Set

The most popular set available today is the Standard Japanese Mahjong Set which consists of S size tiles. The face of the tiles measure 25.5mm x 18.5mm and the tile is 15.5mm thick.

The tile in the photo to the left is actually from the Sango set, which is sometimes available on this site. The tiles are identical in size, weight and design to the cheaper Standard Japanese Mahjong Set.

The tiles of the Take Mahjong Set and the Tenhou Mahjong Set are “L” size, 26.7 x 20mm x 16.2mm and 16mm thick. The Take Mahjong tiles are also flatter across the back to make it easier to stack walls, which makes them a popular choice for mahjong clubs as the walls are that much more stable than regular tile backs, which are slightly convex in imitation of the bamboo backs of traditional sets.

The tiles of the Hichou Mahjong Set are 3L in size and measure 30.5mm x 22.6mm x 17mm.
